Hence, this research studied the perception in using Frog VLE in English lesson amongst English language teachers in nine secondary schools in Melaka Tengah district. This study employed quantitative research design whereby questionnaires were distributed to the desired sampling in the selected secondary schools. There were 42 respondents who were English language teachers and it was carried out as an online survey. The instrument was a combination of Likert-scale items and one open-ended question. The quantitative data was analysed using SPSS software whilst the open-ended question was analysed using thematic coding analysis. The results revealed that the English language teachers’ level of knowledge was moderately high (M=2.59, SD=0.77). Meanwhile, the teachers’ perceptions in terms of Frog VLE usefulness, ease of use, and students’ motivation in English lesson was moderate (M=3.44, SD=0.56). In addition, the issues or challenges in Frog VLE integration was also rated moderate (M=2.98, SD=0.74). The suggestions to overcome the issues or challenges were grouped into organisational level, 87% and individual level 13% respectively.
